EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases John Russell, the 1st Earl of Bedford, a prominent figure in English history. Born in 1485 and passing away in 1555, he was not only an influential nobleman but also the founder of the esteemed House of Russell. This portrait is taken from the remarkable 1813 edition of The Heads of Illustrious Persons of Great Britain, which features engravings by Mr. Houbraken and Mr. Vertue along with detailed accounts of their lives and characters. The image captures Lord Russell's dignified presence as he gazes into the distance with an air of wisdom and authority. His noble lineage is evident through his regal attire, reflecting the opulence associated with English nobility during this era. As one delves deeper into British history, it becomes clear that John Russell played a significant role in shaping England's political landscape during the 16th century. This print serves as a valuable archival piece that allows us to connect with our past and appreciate those who have left indelible marks on our society. With its meticulous engraving technique and historical significance, this portrait transports us back to a time when power was consolidated within noble families like the Russells. It reminds us that behind every great house lies an individual whose vision and ambition laid its foundation - just like John Russell did for his illustrious House of Russell centuries ago.
